Hello from Denver. The twins are a mile high. Since they can supposedly only see to a distance of a few feet, I doubt they've seen the mountains yet. Give it a few days, we'll get them within a few feet of the mountains.
We drove to McPherson on Saturday. That drive went well. They made it the whole way without a break to eat. Every baby book I've ever read says that infants don't react all that well to the disruptions of travel. We thought maybe our kids were beating the odds. At least on the short drive to Mac town...
Then we trekked our way across Kansas and half of Colorado.
They weren't really all that fussy in the car, at least until we got within 20 minutes of our scheduled feeding stop. Then all hell broke loose. But every time we'd get them settled right after a bottle. Back in the car and away we'd go, with little fuss.
After checking into the hotel they got some much needed happy play time. They loved it. I shot some video, we'll try to put that up soon. After that we went to Tokyo Joe's, my most missed Denver food spot. The babies apparently are not as fond of the Asian bowl concept as I am. They literally took turns shouting. Olivia belted, would calm, and pass the torch to Owen. Back and forth. It continued on the car ride back to the Courtyard.
It's now 8:53 MDT. They've been fed and are contemplating sleep. So is Lindsay, it's been a long day.
Goodnight
Justin
Side note: I was trying to think of some fun activities for the week in Breckenridge for all of us to do together. I threw out the idea of all of us riding the chair lift up the mountain and hiking around up there. Lindsay vetoed.
